TopCat Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 What's the deal then? Do the bookies pay out if you backed Teale? I would imagine so Me too ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbles old paperboy Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Gary Teale now on 10 points from 10 games... not earth shatteringly great but usually just about enough to keep heads above water. It may still not be enough given the handicap Teale inherited from Tommy Craig's tenure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddieinEK Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I always thought he was a bit of a prick. Hotshot Hamish on the other hand ... How very dare you Sir. Pistols at dawn. Roy Race is the man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Saint Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I have it on good authority that Hot Shot Hamish is a St.Mirren fan, and used to drink in The Hole In The Wa'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluto Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Were you up the 'Monac' playing snooker when all your classmates were boning up on literature reading The Tiger? Manaca? No - too smoky for me. Tiger, Rover and others too expensive for me. I was already deeply committed to Monday Beezer, Tuesday Dandy, Thursday Beano, Friday Topper and (de rigeur on Sunday) the Broons/Oor Wullie. Of course by 13 y.o. I was already tiring of such as Dostoevsky, Balzac, Nietszche and Kobayashi Issa (the latter far too long-winded for my tastes, naturally) - so I had migrated to the subtler genres of magazines to be found in Walker Street's Yankee Mags. And... ahem.... I had developed an interest in 'Jazz'. And publications around that subject. Edited March 11, 2015 by bluto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a few of us working up the nerve to go into Yankee Mags and buy a nude book but the dame wouldn't sell us it. I think it was a married couple that ran it and I'm sure the woman would have been a real looker when she was younger. I think you've misspelt what you were thinking of with Jazz.

That's what I remembered... too near Orr Square Kirk for me... I googled but could only find this. http://pub46.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=3920695613&frmid=18&msgid=1037181&cmd=show I would guess the name is made up of maybe two owners eg: Hilary MANtel and... er... ChewbACCA..? ...and they were also rubbish spellers... (no my best example, btw...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was officially the 'Monaco', but called the Manacca by those who frequented it. As for Yankee Mags - I'd forgotten all about that place. Ah, fond memories now come flooding back.

Buddymarvellous Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 My recollection was that it was 'The Working Men's Abstainers Club' which was abbreviated to Menac ( or Manac, Manaca, Monaco) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eerie in some ways. It had it's share of 'odd' characters as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
